Ingredients
Scale
For the Roll-Ups:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
For Serving (Optional):
- 1/2 cup salsa
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat to reduce greasiness while keeping the beef flavorful.
- Season the Meat: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes to blend all the spices well into the meat.
- Add the Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and immediately add the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir thoroughly until the cheese is melted and fully combined with the beef mixture.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 15 seconds to make them soft and pliable, which helps to avoid tearing during rolling.
- Fill the Tortillas: Place a generous scoop of the beef and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite contains flavorful filling.
- Roll Up the Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you proceed to securely encase the filling and prevent spillage during baking.
- Bake the Roll-Ups: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the roll-ups seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Serve the roll-ups warm with optional salsa on the side for dipping, adding a fresh and tangy complement to the cheesy beefy filling.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a different cheese flavor.
- To make this dish spicier, add some chili powder or cayenne pepper along with the paprika.
- Leftover roll-ups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- For a lower-fat version, use lean ground beef or ground turkey and reduced-fat cheese.
